Letter to the Stakeholders

I

would like to personally thank you for taking your time to read the engineering design brief for the MFB. My team and I honestly believe this will absolutely revolutionize the Tonle Sap, Cambodia; and its success would inspire other Cambodians to dream big and achieve huge.

I do not think I could have found a more qualified team of engineers, who from their various backgrounds, have contributed well to this project.

The Modular Floating Bridge Inc team included:

Jerry Shum [CEO]

B.S.E.E.

LL.B

B.Com(Acctng)

As Chief Engineering Officer, I felt that I could not have achieved what I have without my team of engineers, who I now call friends. Each person played a different but integral part; and at times had to put up with my spontaneity that is not a managerial style always appreciated! Nevertheless, I hope you appreciate the somewhat interesting integration I make of Engineering with Management, and inspire many engineers in years to come to do so too.

Operations team:

Jordan Ward [SVP]

B.C.E.

Mr. Ward, Senior Vice-President of Operations brought an excellent amount of talent to the competition, having attained phenomenal matriculation results. I would like to thank him for his support and the large amount of administrative work he has done. His portfolio was sustainability, and studied and researched various techniques worldwide to come up with just the right solution in relation to sustainable engineering.

Alden Pascua

B.S.M.E.

Mr. Pascua, as his final-year project, has treated this project with nothing short of that description. He was a driver for the PESTLE Analysis, deriving an in-depth analysis, outlining particular social and cultural constraints in the Tonle Sap, not well versed by Westerners.

Leigh Costello

B.C.E.

Mr. Costello delivered a strong written evaluation in the area of ethics. He was also key in the Design and Production team. For a large portion of the project, he was my P.A. and provided much needed personal support for the project.

Design and Production team:

Marty Sellar [ESVP]

B.S.M.E.

Mr. Sellar, Executive Senior Vice President of Design and Production, delegated the role of editor over much of the design brief documentation. Without his support, I could not have managed such a large team, so I would like to personally thank him as a team member and friend, for his brilliant managerial skills.

Carmen Tkalec [VP]

B.C.E.

An excellent communications manager, Ms. Tkalec, Vice President of Marketing, worked well to deliver a strong team oral presentation. Furthermore, she did a phenomenal job drawing the various MFB renders you find in this design brief. Without her contribution, the MFB could not have been communicated with the clarity that it has.

Finally, I’d like to thank Elizabeth Smith for her efforts in coordinating and reviewing this engineering design project. Her help has been both tremendous and necessary.

The MFB Team hopes you enjoy our innovative solution and hope to see you face-to-face on November 6, 2009 as one of the six outstanding teams at the EWB conference.
